Kitchen Deep Cleaning

Welcome to Brightside Commercial Cleaning, we provide highly professional kitchen grease extraction and ventilation cleaning services throughout the Wirral, Liverpool, Cheshire and North Wales. Fact: Poorly maintained grease extraction systems can and will at some point erupt into flames.

It is quite often the case that your commercial kitchens grease extraction ducting runs right through the building to reach a roof level exhaust, this provides a fire with a clean and unobstructed route right through the entire premises allowing it to rapidly spread to other areas.

When fire spreads through a grease extraction system it is extremely fierce, using the build-up of fatty deposits as a fuel to burn it will be out of control within a matter of minutes.

Your Insurance Policy and Your Commercial Kitchen Cleaning Regimes

Most insurers have specific and deliberate clauses in their policies relating to the effective and proper cleaning/maintenance of your commercial kitchens grease extraction systems.

In the unfortunate event of a fire occurring in your restaurant or food preparation premises a subsequent formal investigation will ensue to positively identify the cause of the fire and to ascertain whether or not any person or persons are directly responsible for the related damage to property or, in the worst case scenario, loss of life.

If it can be categorically proven that the fire erupted as a direct result of poorly maintained kitchen grease extraction systems it could be severely detrimental to your business, jeopardising any insurance pay out which could result in your business having to close for good or, subject to a loss of life, could even result in the building's owner or manager receiving a very lengthy custodial sentence.

Kitchen Grease Extraction System Cleaning Methods

Here are a few of the working methodologies we employ when carrying out a kitchen grease extraction system deep clean;

Square or rectangular ducting can be accessed in one of two ways, we can either install regular inspection hatches where not already present creating ease of access to your buildings ducting or we will quite literally crawl through the ducting to physically scrape collect and remove all grease deposits from your Grease Extraction Duct-work before finally Cleaning all surfaces with our non-hazardous non caustic heavy duty industrial degreasing agents leaving them 100% grease and fire hazard free.(Where regular access panels are not present or un-installable).

High pressure: using high pressure steam to soften and remove greasy build up from the ducting.

Electrical or compressed air vapour or liquid expelled at high pressure from lance to dislodge/dissolve fatty deposits.

High pressure blasting, using suitable medium as appropriate, blasting medium dislodges contaminants from ducting and component surfaces to be removed via vacuum techniques or high volume filtered extraction.

It is estimated that as much as 80% of Kitchen Grease Extraction Ducts are not maintained regularly and that makes them hazardous for your staff, your customers and the building itself.
